The Story in Brief
Three sisters were killed by their uncle in West Bengal's Murshidabad district on Thursday night. The accused, Golam Badshah, 22, surrendered at the Suti police station after the attack. Police found four minor nieces playing at his residence around 6 pm. He attacked all four with a sharp object. One died on the spot, two others died at hospital, and a fourth girl is in critical condition at Behrampur Hospital.
The Jangipur District Police superintendent, Surinder Singh, told The Hindu that Badshah showed no remorse and appears mentally unstable. Relatives rushed to the scene after hearing screams. The three bodies have been sent for post-mortem. The accused will be produced in court and taken into custody for questioning.
The Indian Opinion
The Murshidabad killings tap into a lazy narrative about 'mental instability' as a catch-all explanation for violence against children. Police say the accused showed no remorse, but that is a symptom, not a cause. Families leave children with male relatives daily. The real test is whether this case forces a conversation about supervision and reporting, or gets filed away as one madman's act. If the fourth girl survives, her account will matter more than any police theory.
